That is one of the sharpest designs I have seen in some time... talk about a beautiful "roll of nickles"...

Yup. Like 200 a pop. Scoop looks diesal. Not sure how people making the diablo would feel, but that is a awsome design, and you can tell the welds would hold the test of time...and the torque.

Did someone say "scoops"!
Still use the same two that I made about 4 years ago with no problems.
I've used them some around the fresh water lakes here and Patty has discovered they'll dig a hole for planting in her garden.
We've made several trips to the OBX, Amelia Island, St. Simons Island, and plan to return this Thanksgiving. Been doing mostly gold prospecting in the last two years... but, I still check the board to see if Yanks are still using aluminum scoops!
Best at ya!

Snapped this pic a couple years ago, picture doesn't do it justice, it was take-a-scoop and hook it to a drag line huge, I think the basket was 10"+ diameter and the hadle was like 5 1/2 feet long.....
Here's one I "built" as a loaner

Cool scoop and handle!

Bill, I like how you did the 20 degree angle to the ProScoop, very nice. How is it holding up? Did you have that fabricated?

scoop
i purchased some stainless steel 1 1/2 wide by 1/8 inch thick and welded it together with my miller tig welder. Then I drilled approximately 50 3/8 inch holes to lighten it up, bolted my handle to my scoop. Both pieces weigh 14 ounces. I have been using it for 3 months know with no issues. It seems to holding up pretty good.

thats the kind of scoop i need,that scoop is awsome.
Here is updated pics of the outlet for Joe LOL
Models featured Krepish and Euro excavator II
Both are made by Ruslan aka Stavr , from Russia (Ukraine) with love LOL
Have Krepish for over a year now ,very light especially with that fiberglass handle I finally put on it (made from mutilated rake $10.00)Strong like a tank.
Very easy to dig with that angle on it ,I am able to recover deep targets I previously gave up on before .
The proof is the camera I have taken pictures with got it in 6 scoops ,waterproof, shock proof ,freeze proof etc . Sells for $350.00 nice ticket just got it too
Needed one for some time ,Thank you Neptune.
Euroexcavator with American standard handle opening in knife grade stainless steel ,there are 2 grades available spoon and knife .
That thing is virtually indestructible. Use it for dry as holes are larger .Va beach Max uses his in the rocks not sure of his steel grade .
Both have their place on the beach ,both are very good.
Had RTG stainless before ,that thing killed me on hot humid hunts ...........brrrrrrrrrrrr
Have a scoop made by the friend of mine ,very nice but steel handle broke,otherwise a very nice scoop although nowhere near the Stavrs .
Hope this info helps . Good luck and HH
Oh yea do not feel that the warranty is needed for any of them two babies : )

Glad forum is back. Anyway. It has had one try, with good results. Ideal for soft sand, small rocks, an mud. I got furious over a few quarters that I just could not get in under 20 attempts. Most of the time it is easy, but sometimes clad is just hard because it it is on its side. Or it moves when you miss once. Anyway. The big one is 10" diameter. Aluminum. The other one is a 7" ss one. Cats are like a year old almost. I asked RTG before I posted. They said its ok. I think they did a great job for a custom request. HH an GL. -Joe
